Kelly had his own business, Black Trucking for several years. His last job was with JEM Construction where he enjoyed being a heavy equipment operator and truck driver for Switch and always waiting for Johns call. Kelly enjoyed spending quality time with his family, specifically watching NASCAR, and he was a diehard Denver Broncos fan. He was an intelligent man guiding his children with love through every aspect of their lives. Because of Kellys golden heart he was always there for his family, brothers and friends.

He was a very good man and brother in law. I know he leaves behind some fantastic children and lots of happy memories. I will always remember making him his lunches for work, I think he thought my whole carrots and ranch were a rather funny addition, but he always ate them. Also how he got so involved in the Denver Broncos games on T.V., he can still make me smile with all of the memories I have of him while I was growing up. I will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers each night.
